DATAForge LLC is scheduled to present our best practice “Electronic Structured Spare Parts Data Population of Maximo” at the Facilities Management Maximo Users Group (FMMUG) http://www.fmmug.org/ hosted by Purdue University on October 11^th and 12^th. Setting up spare parts and tasking in Maximo starts at the beginning of equipment design with the bill of materials parts list, the equipment asset number and plant location. Our best practice, provides a complete and automatic electronic transfer of the Bill of Material for a piece of equipment that mashes up to an equipment listing with location. The data is imported with the item records referenced to a category key of perishable spare / non spare. The perishable spares are imported to a data verification tool where analysts process and cleanse the spare part records. Once the equipment with plant location and all associated spare parts are complete we use a simple to use interface for transfer of data to Maximo, thus giving users the power to move thousands of records at a time creating Equipment, Items, Companies, Spare Parts, etc. with all of the correct fields related, to take advantage of the Maximo hyper-linking ability. The results are a fully accurate data enabled Maximo without manual part verification or data entry of equipment, items, spare parts or companies. The documented time savings for one program is two skilled trade persons for two years. Look for our best practice case study in October.
